It's all about the CHOICES we make!  

 

As we told you last week, this winter we're going to remind our readers about our valued hometown "partners" by re-introducing all of Joan's Hometown Choices. For this first installment we're focusing on two Choices that can beautify and pamper both you and your home this winter.  Hylton Hundt Salon and Rembrant Fine House Painting -- two businesses that are local, responsible and who provide the highest quality of service...and they're ready to help you!

 

 

 

 

Hylton Hundt Salon was one of our very first Hammertown Choices.   

 

 

I started getting my "hairapy" at Hylton Hundt a few years ago at the suggestion of Rhonda Cayea (our Hammertown Rhinebeck Manager) and I've been going there ever since.  The relaxed, yet professional atmosphere of Bonnie Hundt and Janice Hylton's salon make it truly a few hours of therapeutic escape for me.  I could not recommend them more highly.  Keep reading to find out how both of our businesses have benefited from our relationship.

Rembrant Fine House Painting  

 

I first learned about Eddie and Robyn Rembrant from one of my favorite home stylists, Wanda Furman.  She calls them "my painters of choice...They are meticulous, efficient, reliable, sensitive to budget and coming in 'on budget'." This past summer, Eddie and Robin transformed the exterior of my daughter, Dana's home with a few fresh coats of paint and she could not have been happier with their work ethic and skill. She said "It is as if I got a whole new house."

Hudson Valley Fresh receives 2011 Business of
the Year Award from NYS Ag Society

 

The growth Hudson Valley Fresh has experienced over the last year has been phenomenal.  Their dairy products (from local, independent dairy farmers right here in our area) are now being carried all over the Tri-State area in some pretty impressive places, including Balducci's, Whole Foods and Eli's (in NYC).  Hudson Valley Fresh is one of Joan's Hometown Choices and we couldn't be prouder.  Congratulations!

A Winter Farmers' Market?  You Bet!

 
We just got Valley Tables Magazine's most recent newsletter and it was packed with great information including this listing of Winter Farmer's Markets in our area. 

Valley Table,
by the way, was one of our first Hammertown Choices when we started the program and it has been a wonderful symbiotic relationship.

Be a Winter Animal Detective--tracks & scat clues can tell you a lot!

Bobcat (Lynx) track in the snow

I don't know about you but when there's snow on the ground I love investigating all the animal tracks around my house.  Who knew so much was going on out there at night?  It makes you wonder just what kind of animals are out there.  One of the best ways to find out is through the clues animals leave behind...tracks and scat (yep...that's poop!) 

 

Whether you are looking for tracks or scat the best way to identify them is by using a published field guide.  Read more of Danielle's post...

This Week's Recipe: Tilapia with Warm Cherry Tomatoes & Olives
 


Though many of the ingredients seem more "summer" appropriate, I think this is a great recipe to begin the New Year for several reasons:  it has only about 200 calories per serving (and who isn't thinking about their waistline after the holidays!); it's quick (takes about 10 minutes to prepare); it's inexpensive; and, it's absolutely delicious.  Get the recipe...






We'll see you soon!
